I'll add my review of the samples I got and update as I use them. I got five, not quite the haul Ollie did :lol:
My first impression when I opened the packet was of walking into an old Apothecary style shop in somewhere like Tintagel :ugeek: but that's not a bad thing! I found five phials containing:
Pre Shave Oil
Universal shaving oil
I used this yesterday, I don't usually use an oil and my previous experience has been Nuage menthol, which is ok, but from there on the whole shave is a menthol experience! I must admit that this is a very moisturising oil, and my face felt great afterwards. I wasn't brave enough to use it to shave with on it's own, but used it prior to my Monsavon. The trouble I have with oils is that everything from brush to sink gets all oily and needs a clean afterwards. It's a nice product but for those reason not one I would buy.
After Shave Splash
Universal shaving tonic
I've not used this yet. Possibly a bit too sweet for me, but I'll withhold judgment until I've worn it.
Cologne Splash
Dragons Blood
This is a nice scent, but quite sweet, I can't place what it smells of, can anyone help? Although I like it, personally I wouldn't want to smell 'of' it.
Gentlemans Club
This is nice, orange, bergamot, rosewood and muget - I can definitely trace the orange in it, I've not worn this yet, but I would and would classify it as a nice traditional cologne.
Primal Drive
Orange, vanilla, lavender, frankincense, myrrh in here, and the vanilla does it for me. My favourite one this, and as I'm a vanilla fan I would definitely buy this.
